Me too. I remember when skysurfing also came on the scene, but with wingsuits, humankind has finally learnt how to fly. BASE jumping without a wingsuit has no margin for error, though that guy who skims the road was cutting it fine if there was any ground-effect wind. This would certainly give you some cardio work - like mine would be going 140. I really can't yet imagine what it's like to fly past those walls at 100mph. Hurrah for insane sports.
